The Golden Lotus is a pandaren faction charged with defending the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. The Vale is in great danger, threatened by the ancient mogu tribes. Once scattered across the land, they have reunited. For reasons unknown, they seek to enter the Vale and take its powers by force.

From what the Golden Lotus has seen, they attack a vulnerable section of the Vale each day, looking for weakness. Should they succeed in their attack, then the Vale would fall.
